Olaf Nicolai: Apollo

The art work entitled Apollo by the German artist Olaf Nicolai (1962) has been sited in the museum's central courtyard since 2008. The workis better known to the museum's visitors as the ‘football cage'. Everyone who visits the museum may kick a ball around in this object, which was made specially for the courtyard. The publication Olaf Nicolai: Apollo explores the background to this art work in an essay entitled ‘The Harmony of Pen, Sword, Football and Laptop' by Dieter Roelstraete.
